Metro police arrest four on robbery charges

Metro police arrested four people Friday night after an alert officer spotted a robbery in progress on Dr. D.B. Todd Boulevard near Albion Street in North Nashville.

In a news release, police said North Precinct Officer Joel Rogers was nearby due to recent reports of criminal activity. At about 9:30 p.m., he spotted the victim with the four suspects. The victim later reported that he was walking when four people approached him from behind and at gunpoint demanded his belongings.

When the suspects saw the officer, they fled with the victim's cell phone and cigarettes, police said.

Other officers helped arrest all four suspects: Deonte Lewis, 18, Lamonte Thompson, 18, and 15-year-old and 16-year-old boys, according to police.

All four are charged with aggravated robbery, and Lewis and Thompson are being held on $80,000 bond each, Metro police said in the news release.
